Great External Pump

Installation and Operation	Very easy to install. Standard plumbing works fine and can bolt down to the floor of your stand if you want.
Performance vs. Expectations	This exceeding my expectations. 1750gph, and the torque behind it, really went a long way. I, basically, had 0 head loss on my closed-loop system. My overflows couldn't keep up so I had to throttle it back!
Value for money	Decently priced, but there are others out there now that can compete without much problem. Was it worth the price? That's a definite "maybe." It really depends on what you need it for. This pump would have been great if I had a fish room in the basement, or something like that.

Liked about it	1) Massive head pressure 2) Quieter than a lot of externals out there. 3) Aesthetically pleasing, IMO
Didn't like	1) The low humming noise really got on my nerves after awhile. 2) Power consumption caused me to explore other alternatives... that's really all I can think of.

Overall rating:		2.5
Overall satisfaction:		3.0
Would consider buying it again:		2.0

Great pump

Installation and Operation	Maintenance is minimal I clean the fan/intake area twice a year just to keep it clean and quiet
Performance vs. Expectations	Is everything I was expecting. Quiet + power + low heat impact to the water.
Value for money	Time will tell --If it lasts another 2 years then yes its worth every penny
Customer Support	no need to contact support yet :)

Liked about it	Power Runs quiet Doesnt add alot of heat to the water passing through it
Didn't like	A bit of an energy hog. Cant think of any other cons

200PS

General

I'm very impressed with the Pan World/Blueline pumps. I've had three over the years and each of them has run flawlessly.

Liked about it

This thing is a beast. I've had this pump for several years and it has ran flawlessly. Initially I ran it as a closed loop pump through a series of spraybars under my live rock. Eventually I moved it and have been using it as my main return pump for my 300-gallon system. The pump is located in the wetroom, approximately a 40' run from the display and has quite a bit of head. This pump has no trouble getting the flow I need into the tank for about six times turn over. I actually have to throttle it back some.

Didn't like

It is a higher energy use pump, but as mentioned it is a beast and it takes electricity for this kind of horsepower. I do have to clean the fan a little more frequently on this pump to keep it running quietly.
